   That's the VHS version that was sold factory sealed at auction - it   
   doesn't have the "Episode IV" text in the opening crawl.

   We have a mini-stereo system (rarely used) with a CD player and casette   
   tape. My car, being 30+ years old, also has its original radio cassette   
   tape player in it.   
      
   Our old vinyl record player system was gotten rid of years ago because   
   it was "never used - just taking up room and collecting dust".   
   Personally I would have kept it, but it wasn't my choice. Then again, I   
   only have maybe half a dozen vinyl records (the Star Wars Original   
   Trilogy audio dramas, a Watership Down audio drama, and a couple of   
   others).
